Update 2
*Remade the hoods again, this time without launching them in-game, using a new method I created of extracting their character data using SimPE. So now the hoods are super collection compatible.
*The hood now includes the 2 Newspaper Delivery NPCs.
*I fixed an oversight in the hood that MeetMe missed. I gave the Tinker family more money since the OFB Prima Guide says they should purchase the lot Inner Child Toys and Gifts but they can't afford it.
*Uploaded a version of the Storytelling file that fixes an issue where the neighborhood stories are broken if you put the main hood version in the games files.

Unlike meetmetotheriver's other clean templates, the clean Bluewater Village does have about half of the maxis townies. This version adds back in all of the townies that did get deleted. I have also uploaded this one as both a main hood and as a shopping district.

How I (originally) made this one is that I converted the original hood into a main hood (in hindsight, I don't know why I didn't just use the main hood version of the clean template), extracted all of the townies not in the clean version, Made all of the townies in the clean main hood version, and then set them as townies. For the shopping district version I took the main hood version I made and then converted it to a shopping district.

Install Instructions
To install the main hood version you simply put the N004 folder in the neighborhood folder.

To install the shopping district version you have to locate the B001 folder in the game files. The location of this folder depends on which version of the game you have.

Disk version
C:/Program Files (x86)/Ea Games/The Sims 2/The Sims 2 Open for Business/TS Data/Res/NeighborhoodTemplate

Disk version with the Best of Business Collection
C:/Program Files (x86)/Ea Games/The Sims 2/Best of Business/EP3/TSData/Res/NeighborhoodTemplate

Ultimate Collection from Origin
C:/ProgramFiles/OriginGames/The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection/Best of Business/EP3/TSData/Res/NeighborhoodTemplate

Ultimate Collection from oldgamesdownload.com
C:/Program Files (x86)/Mr DJ/The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection/The Sims 2 Open for Business/TS Data/Res/NeighborhoodTemplate

Once you locate the B001 folder. You simply delete the B001 folder already there and drag in this one.
(DO NOT DRAG IN THIS B001 FOLDER AND CLICK REPLACE CONTENTS BECAUSE THAT WILL CORRUPT THE HOOD!)

Some things to note
*The original hood has 2 hidden sims named Elle and Jeannie. They were originally meant to the townies, but both of their sim description files got completely messed up and thus they were made hidden. In this version their sim description files have been properly fixed so they now work properly and they have been turned into townies. They are missing their DNA and wants and fears files, but this actually isn't a problem at all as the game will just automatically generate them when Elle or Jeannie appear in-game.
*Four of the Townies have CAS items from nightlife. If you don't have nightlife then the nightlife CAS stuff will automatically be replaced.

Update 1
*If you were playing on the disc version of the game then all of the townies that I added back in would not have their maxis names in the main hood version for some reason. This has been fixed.
*Changed the file name of the main hood version so now it always appears right after the 6 main Maxis hoods on the title screen.
